David graduated from the College of Charleston in 2026 with an AB in Classics and History. His research focuses are on Latin history and historiography, with a preference for Sallust, Caesar and Tacitus. He also focuses on Near-Eastern studies, in particular Semitic cultures and linguistics.

His senior capstone "Wars of Fear and Terror" developed methodology to  explain the relationship between societal fear and societal shifts toward authoritarianism. His senior research project "Number, Number, Weight, Divide" highlighted translation inconsistencies between the Septuagint and Tanakh. He has presented at SEWA and at the University of Tennessee on the history and historical depiction of the Phoenician people.

He was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina. There he grew up working in his family's cornerstone alongside his older sisters.
Now he spends most of his freetime reading, writing, exploring DC, or antagonizing his friends and colleagues.
